Some sad news in the world of music.
Music giant Sergio Mendes of Brasil '66 has passed away at age 83. It was apparently due to long-term COVID.
The New York Post reported:
Brazilian musician Sergio Mendes has died at 83.
The cause is reportedly health challenges related to long-term Covid.
Mendes’s family told the Guardian in a statement that he “passed away peacefully” in his Los Angeles home.
“His wife and musical partner for the past 54 years, Gracinha Leporace Mendes, was by his side, as were his loving children,” they said.
“Mendes last performed in November 2023 to sold out and wildly enthusiastic houses in Paris, London and Barcelona,” they added.
“For the last several months, his health had been challenged by the effects of long term COVID.”
The song, "Mas Que Nada" (1966) in the video above always brings me back to seventh grade.
